Do you hunger for knowledge and have a passion for the Arts? Then ‘The International Festival ofFilms on Art (FIFA)’ is for you. The 30th edition (March 15th till 25th) offers an exceptional showcase of 232 films from 27 countries. Presented in nine venues in Montreal’s downtown area (from the Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA) to La Grande Bibliothèque, passing through The Museum of Fine Arts, Cinèma J.A. de Sève at Concordia, Cinquième Salle and Contemporary Art Museum (located in Place Des Arts), National Film Board (NFB), Cinémathèque Québécoise and Goethe Institute) the viewer is invited to undertake a veritable global journey that explores all aspects of art, all styles and all eras; ranging from music to cinema, literature, painting, architecture, design etc. This exquisite 11-day banquet is a feast to be had for art lovers and cinéphiles alike. Artists, both known and obscure, receive an in-depth treatment that educates and entertains. You'll be taken behind the scenes to witness the act of creation of classic operas, theatre pieces and films. History, both present and past, will be given its interpretative due.The program is divided into six sections: In Competition (41 films from 17 countries), Horizons (films that give a fresh look), tributes (those who have given outstanding contributions to the field). This year it is to ARTE TV in honour of its 20th anniversary – 13 films will be presented. Follow with Media Arts (visionary and experimental films using modern technology), Focus on the 7th art (cinema) and lastly ‘Time Recaptured’ (anniversaries, retrospectives and outstanding classics).
